[Verse 1: Daryl Braithwaite]
We will fly way up high
Where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun, laughin', havin' fun
With all the people that she knows
And if the situation should keep us separated
You know the world won't fall apart
And you will free the beautiful bird
That's caught inside your heart

[Pre-Chorus: Daryl Braithwaite]
Can't you hear her? Oh, she cries so loud
Casts her wild note, over water and cloud

[Chorus: Daryl Braithwaite]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
We'll be riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

[Verse 2: Daryl Braithwaite & Margaret Urlich]
You will grow and until you go
And I'll be right there by your side
And even then whisper the wind
And she will carry up your ride
I hear all the people of the world (People of the world)
In one bird's lonely cry
See them tryin' every way they know how
To make their spirit fly
[Pre-Chorus: Daryl Braithwaite]
Can't you see him? He's down on the ground
Has a broken wing, looking all around

[Chorus: Daryl Braithwaite & Margaret Urlich]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' (Be, little darling)
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin' (The sky, little darling)
Oh, and if you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' (Be, little darling)
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin' (The sky, little darling)
Oh, and if you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up

[Outro: Margaret Urlich & Daryl Braithwaite]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You'll go riding on the horses yeah, yeah (Pick you up, darlin', if you fall)
Way up in the sky, little darlin' (Don't you worry 'bout a thing, little girl)
And if you fall I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up (Because I was young myself not so long ago)
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin' (And when I was young, oh, I was a wild one)
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'...
